Have you tried Lime Away and some soft scrub? Spray the lime away on and let it sit for a while and then take the soft scrub and a rough brush and scrub away at it….

CLR (Calcium Lime Remover) may work as well. That’s great.

Also Soft Scrub just introduced a new heavy foam scum remover. Try that! It’s amazing. I use it all over my bathrooms and floors give it try.

If the live remover they sell in the store doesnt work you have to replace it.

Always wipe down the shower doors after each use, everytime. then it will never happen.I have used furniture wax spray on them to keep it slick so the water wont stand but still wipe it down each time.

Best thing to use is a mixture of half a cup of vinegar and half a cup of water. Put it spray bottle, and spray it on the surfaces, leave for a few seconds and Bob’s your uncle.

Look into getting a water softener system. You may have hard water.

lime away works best. if that don’t get it, try oven cleaner
once you get it off, apply liquid car polish, even works on the walls, just make sure not to get any on shower/tub floor- gets way too slippery

Lime away CLR is pretty good kaboom works if you leave it like for 5-8 min but the smell is not that good

Okay I have 2 options for you. Buy Lime away. The one in the squirt bottle, NOT the spray bottle. Stand so you can squirt the lime away on the doors and let it sit there for 5 min or so. The take a Mr Clean Magic Eraser, and scrub the door. Rinse with water and go over any missed areas. OR you can try spraying Scrubbing bubbles. Walk away, come back & spray again. Let stand for 5 minutes, and scrub w/ your Mr Clean Magic Eraser. either way you choose, I would finish with a spray of Windex.

I know that what I am about to say will sound Very Strange. But, I have used it on my parents double glass sliding shower doors. And over the years I have tried every product that “says” it will remove the soap scum and limescale from glass shower doors! But, time and time again, they have not worked! I used to have my own business cleaning houses years ago, and I ran into a customer with the same problem of Never being able to get them clean! So one day while cleaning at the customers home, I accidently picked up the the new spray bottle of Pledge furniture polish. I didn’t notice and sprayed it on the shower doors. And, as normal, went to put the bedsheets in the washer to let the doors soak, knowing that they wouldn’t come clean anyway. Few minutes later, back to the shower doors. Where I had sprayed the Pledge on the doors, you could see thru them!! I was amazed! I cleaned them with the liquid spray Pledge, and then with the bathroom cleaner, as to remove any greasy feel. As soon as I left there, I went and bought some to take to my parents, to finally after years clean those stupid shower doors! Well, that Pledge liquid spray didn’t make a dent in the crap now built up on these doors!! I was so mad! As I was stepping out of the tub, totally defeated by the shower doors yet again! I happened to try to pull the door closed to replace the bath towels on the rack outside, and the stupid door was sticking in the track! I went and got my Dad’s WD-40, since I didn’t wish to be blamed by him or my Mom, for “breaking” one of their shower doors! I had stuck the little red straw, that comes with the WD-40 can, in the spray cap, and stepped in the tub to spray the track above the door. Well, of course, the little red straw blows out when I go to spray the track…and WD-40 goes all over. SO…yes, I have to clean it off again…since it’s really greasy, the WD-40 I mean.
WELL GUESS WHAT???? As I was wiping off the WD-40 so I could spray the bathroom cleaner…the years of scum/limescale…etc…came off on my papertowel!! Didn’t even need the scrub pad! OH, I couldn’t believe it! I sprayed both entire shower doors with WD-40. Got the scrub pad just in case. and easily wiped years of that crap off those shower doors!! I was in total shock! I then just used the plain old Lysol bathroom cleaner back then still in a spray can. and rinsed off the doors with warm water and the cleaner. My Mom came home, and I was still sitting in the bathroom in total amazment! She said she really thought that the shower doors were frosted all these years and I was crazy!! They have clean glass shower doors to this day, and that all happened back in 1989! Maybe the WD-40 would work for you…???? But, be careful, it can get slippery! Hope you have some luck with it!
